Patient's question:
Medical Description:Hello, doctor, I would like to ask you about something. My baby is ten months and nine days old. The other day, I noticed a few red spots on the chin and chest. Yesterday, more spots appeared on the body, and starting last night, the baby began to have a fever, around thirty-something degrees Celsius, but not yet reaching thirty-eight degrees. This morning, I checked, and there were many red spots on the face and body, with small bumps on top. They don’t seem itchy, and the baby is also in a good mood. In the morning, we went to the hospital, but the doctor couldn’t pinpoint what it was. A blood test showed low white blood cell count, so they gave him an IV drip. However, the fever hasn’t gone down yet. I’m wondering if it’s chickenpox or eczema. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be caused by pneumonia. It is currently recommended that you go to the hospital for a sputum culture test. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take antibiotics orally or receive intravenous antibiotic treatment. Pay attention to nutritional supplementation and keep your body warm to prevent further worsening of the condition due to cold. The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so family members must take the child to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
